Abstract
In one embodiment, an electronic device includes a compute-in-memory (CIM) array that includes a plurality of columns. Each column includes a plurality of CIM cells connected to a corresponding read bitline, a plurality of offset cells configured to provide a programmable offset value for the column, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) having the corresponding bitline as a first input and configured to receive the programmable offset value. Each CIM cell is configured to store a corresponding weight.
